Nope.

I actually said Dragon RapideGlenn - hadn't seen your post!
OK, I'll go for Miles Messenger.

Not a Maggie, not rare enough. Another clue, Guy Gibson flew the actual aircraft I photographed and it was considered unconventional for its time.

Off to bed now, nighty night.

Ah! Think you might have it there Glenn. Forgot about that one - a tri-cycle undercart trainer, unconventional for the time.

Got thrown and was thinking of Hoot Gibson

 

[Airframes]

He He !

 

[nuuumannn]

The one that Guy "Hoot" Gibson flew

 

[T Bolt]

Would have never guessed it without that clue.

Try this one:

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

WOW! Top job Glenn! And Niel, that head gear old Hoot is wearing is a TEN GALLON HAT if I ever saw one.

 

[Matt308]

Hmmm... a boundary layer splitter plate, high transonic speeds...

Do we get a hint of whether the pic is properly oriented orthogonally?

 

[nuuumannn]

L-39 Albatros or A-4 Skyhawk?

 

[vikingBerserker]

A-4 was my guess too.

 

[Catch22]

Or a U-2?

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I think it's an air intake on a radial engine craft like an Otter.

 

[T Bolt]

The picture is oriented correctly, taken from the front left side of the Aircraft.

It's not a L-39, A-4, U-2, or Otter.

It is Jet powered.
